YORKSHIRE PEARL

Sunday, 28 March 2010

Yorkshire Pearl's first foray into wrist candy plays with the conceit of the bangle, deconstructing its basic tenants and resculpting it into a thing of three-dimensional wrist art, a work with an ethos, an aesthetic and attitude all unto itself. Each bracelet is handlined with python skin and tightly bound with fishing wire. The adornments of each piece, ranging from vintage buttons to dice to semi-precious gems and fragments of Victorian miniatures and so on, are hand selected by BBERT, sourced from across London's markets and the rest of Europe and the United States. Each bangle has a life unto itself, an amalgam of exquisite objects trovit reworked into a homage to nostalgia and creativity unbound. Wear one at a time or stacked to make a real impression.

About Yorkshire Pearl

You've seen them adorning the wrists of the fabulous about Londontown, dangling round the chicest of necks, stealing the spotlight wherever they go. You asked for it, you go it: Yorkshire Pearl, bespoke jewellery created by the designer known affectionately around town as BBERT, has at long last arrived on the web for you to peruse and purchase at whim.

From fur-lined bells and antique flutes to assorted vintage buttons, lions head door knockers and other curiosities, Yorkshire Pearl's creations verge on wearable art, instantly updating any outfit with a traffic-stopping kind of wow effect.

Each item is handcrafted, one of a kind--statement jewellery that you know won't be making a statement on anyone else. The diamond in the urban rough, the pearl of London's eye, BBERT's baubles have caught the eye of Telegraph Editrix, Hilary Alexander and Liberty Creative Director, Jasmine Sewell and will be featured on band FAITHLESS' upcoming album cover.
